Conformation
A really good conformation photo serves two purposes. First and most importantly, it shows the horse in a manner that allows potential buyers to easily evaluate his build and suitability for various disciplines. An educated eye can predict pretty accurately from a conformation photo how a horse will move or jump.
Secondly, it’s an attention-grabber. In a sea of horse-for-sale listings, a good conformation photo stops your eye from skimming down the page and says LOOK AT ME.

Communication
It’s a challenge for trainers to meet the demands of keeping owners informed about the progress of their horses. Birdcat Photography can help.

About Virginia Carter
A native of Lexington, Kentucky, I grew up loving horses and just about everything else with four legs. Based in Lexington and photographing at Keeneland and the Thoroughbred Training Center year-round, I have been fortunate to have photographed at other racecourses, including Royal Ascot. As both an owner and stable worker, I have a special appreciation for the racing industry and the people who dedicate their lives to horses.
My photographic specialty is equine sports. I am passionate about Thoroughbred racing. If the sun is shining, you will find me at the rail with my camera.
I also photograph related sports and try not to miss an opportunity to capture images of wildlife and exotic landscapes. But nothing compares with documenting the development of a racehorse.
With a Ph.D. in anthropology, a professional background in fine arts, and a career as executive director of Kentucky Humanities, Inc. my experience also includes university teaching, forensic sculpture, museum exhibit design, illustration, artistic production, and scriptwriting. Throughout my life, I have found ways to educate the public about the people, traditions, and equine athletes that make Thoroughbred racing so uniquely compelling.
